camo dance (prints) . 2023

it's been awhile since i participated in an international print exchange. it was during my undergrad years and i worked on a series of screen printed postcards, in hopes of receiving really cool prints in return by other artists and printmakers from around the world. but unfortunately, a lot of my own prints came back instead! it was disappointing, and i never wanted to participate in print exchanges ever again. but thanks to my friend and talented printmaker diego mendoza, i was encouraged to rethink print exchanges and convinced me to take part (thanks diego!).

i worked on these three coloured stamp prints titled 'camo dance' for the 9inhandpress 2023 print exchange. i created 15 of these hand stamped prints, signed and numbered and ready to be shared. i really liked how these turned out. i hope whoever around the world gets a hold of these will like them too.

stay tuned for updates on the print exchange once it happens. i'm so excited to receive prints from others – here's hoping it works out this time around...

ramadan so far...

ramadan kareem . 2022

here's a short little post – i realised i never shared the artwork above when i worked on it last year. it was created for one of my favourite clients, coco jalila for their ramadan announcement. i really liked the simplicity of the overall artwork, and was hoping to see it printed as one of their chocolate boxes – maybe next ramadan?

speaking of ramadan, hope everyone observing is having a blessed holy month so far. now that i don't have a private studio to work from (the space where my studio was based has temporarily closed for building renovations), my ramadan consists of hot desk-ing around dubai, working on my laptop and catching up on projects + personal errands. i really like how calm things have been, giving me a chance to focus on self care and going through my 'things to do' list which i have avoided for months! i hope this streak of productivity continues.

until then, stay tuned for updates on projects i worked on over the last couple of months. i can't share anything just yet, so keep an eye out for upcoming posts...
